Not licking any boots, thank you.
If it wasn't for my father, Goa wouldn't have had the Kala Academy. He
sacrified a potential lucrative career abroad and concentrated in raising up
the Goan musical standards to a higher level, and gave Goa a Symphony
Orchestra. It wasn't easy, an uphill battle to found the Academia de Musica and
the Orquestra Sinfonica de Goa in 1952, and even tougher battle (the music
teachers went without salaries for over 18 months) after the events of 1961,
thanks to the blinkered vision of some your freedom fighters, who are doing
something similar today. He obtained scholarships for Goan students to go
abroad to further their musical careers. The last Gulbenkian scholarship was
presented to a cellist, Alexandre Mascarenhas, by none other than Maria Aurora
Couto in March 1962, to further his studies in Germany.
Other fathers were top judges, eminent surgeons and heads of administration.
There was no need for them to lick anyone's boots (seems you've got this fetish
for boots for a long time now ...) neither did they pay anyone to get to where
they were, nor were they any slaves to anyone - they commanded respect. They
were pretty well qualified for their posts and did an extremely well job for
their time.
